I& #39;ve listened to this song so many times all these years, I just love it, but it was only a few weeks ago when I found out the songwriter is a Federer fan, which makes it a million times more epic.

Beatenberg is a South African band based in Cape Town.
Lead vocals, guitar and songwriter Matthew Field:

"It was a way to try to transcend and celebrate the guy I would& #39;ve been rooting against. From a distance of a couple years later you can go back and appreciate everything about Nadal."
Credits to Ben Rothenberg for finding out this info in a NCR Tennis Podcast interview with the songwriter. It& #39;s without a shadow of a doubt the best thing he& #39;s done in his professional career.
